Reach the Day 2010 and Advocacy for CureSearch
For the third year, we attended CureSearch's Reach the Day event June 21-22 in Washington, D.C.. In addition to receiving updates on the progress and challenges in pediatric cancer research from the Chairman of the Children's Oncology Group (COG) Dr. Greg Reaman, we lobbied Congress for appropriations to fund the Caroline Walker Pryce Conquer Childhood Cancer Act signed into law in July 2008. We are honored to be the Upstate NY Team Leaders and had a wonderful group of Upstate New York families with us for our Hill visits.

March 28, 2010
The 3rd Annual Ithaca St. Baldrick's Foundation Fundraiser
Lakewatch Inn, Ithaca, NY

We raised more than $35,000 at this year's Ithaca St. Baldrick's event! St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer fundraising organization for pediatric cancer research.

About 60 people shaved their heads to make a difference for these kids. Some shaved in memory of children lost, some in honor of those fighting, and others for the larger cause. It was a great event with wonderful music, and many committed people turning out to support the shavees. Many proclaimations of 'next year!' were heard throughout the day.

Thank you to the Lakewatch Inn for hosting this event, and to our many volunteers who made this event happen.
